About Renee
Dr. Renee Nelson is an LPC - licensed professional counselor in Arizona with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She works with adults who need practical tools to manage distress and get through difficult transitions.
Her sessions focus on noticing patterns of thought and behavior that make problems worse. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related methods to help people test new ways of responding. That can mean breaking down overwhelming problems into small steps, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking what works and what does not.
Dr. Nelson also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices to help clients stay present and act in line with their values. For people who have traumatic memories, she may use approaches that address those memories directly. She emphasizes clear, structured techniques alongside listening and feedback.
Main concerns she addresses include grief, trauma recovery, coping with medical or caregiving stress, and managing attention and concentration challenges linked to ADHD. She also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, aging, autism, cancer, chronic illness, communication problems, control struggles, divorce, eating-related issues, and family of origin problems.
Her work is goal-oriented and collaborative. She helps people set concrete steps, measures progress, and adjusts strategies when needed. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and follow the site's booking steps to match with her and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, break problems into manageable parts, and practice new responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and attention-related challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed actions toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Mindfulness techniques help people steady attention and reduce reactivity so they can try new behaviors with less distraction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans together with the client so the strategies fit current needs and preferences.
